I wanted to convert seconds to hours using dateFormat nodejs package but it's not giving expected result.
My code :
import dateFormat from 'dateformat';
console.log(dateFormat(3600, "HH"));
Result:
when trying to convert 3600 secs to hrs then instead of giving output as 1 hr, it's giving output as 5 hrs
dateformat takes first argument as date and not the seconds. If you will convert 3600 to date then it is 52 years ago exact date is Thursday, 1 January 1970 06:30:00 GMT+05:30 in which hour is 5, which is showing to you. If you need to convert seconds to hours you can use this function
function secondsToTime(secs)
{
var hours = Math.floor(secs / (60 * 60));
var divisor_for_minutes = secs % (60 * 60);
var minutes = Math.floor(divisor_for_minutes / 60);
var divisor_for_seconds = divisor_for_minutes % 60;
var seconds = Math.ceil(divisor_for_seconds);
var obj = {
"h": hours,
"m": minutes,
"s": seconds
};
return obj;
}
